Antenna question...

Hey all...

Trying to get my antenna to work with a led flat screen...

As I understand it, the tv is 'digital' so I don't need a converter box...

I have an old (2003) batwing crank-up...

I'm not getting anything but fuzz on the tv...

Help..!!..

do I need a new head (Jack)..??..

I have read about 12v power to the head...

How do I test that..??..

Thanks...

some have a light on an amplifier switch in the area of tv somewhere, light should be on for air tv and ant cranked up. then scan the tv menu for auto search on air or antenna setup and scan.

My Georgetown has a switch box in the cabinet with the DVD to change from a cable connection to antenna so signal from antenna is going to tv.

Make sure that you antenna amplifier is turned on and that your new TV is set to receive ANTENNA, and not cable signals. This is done through the MENU input options. Let your TV do an automatic search of antenna channels and you should be good to go.
